How to display category name?

Question

Django

There is a field that allows you to select a vehicle category.

TYPE_CHOICES = (
        ('leg', u"Легковое ТС"),
        ('gruz', u"Грузовое ТС"),
    )

type = models.CharField(max_length=5, blank=True, null=True, default="m",  choices=TYPE_CHOICES)

How to display the Russian name of the category in the template, and not the abbreviation that is stored in the database

No need to reinvent the wheel

Answer 2

Make a method or property. Something like the following:

@property
def char_type(self):
     for i in TYPE_CHOICES:
         if i[0] == self.type:
             return i[1]

In the template it would look like
{{ model.char_type }}
